128. I started to read the second article in your list.

At the second essay, I realized I wasn't the intended audience. From a western perspective, as I watch nuns and clergywomen in our Christian churches continue to struggle for equal footing, I'm afraid I have an anti-religious bias that may cloud my perception. The idea of rebelling against the bad parts of any given dogma in an effort to retain the -- I don't know -- is it the security of believing that we understand our universe that religion offers? Truly, having relinquished that in my own path, I don't think I can be swayed that women working within the framework of a misogynistic belief system is bound to be very successful in the end. There are always those pesky passages that we just can't explain away.

But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the husband is the head of his wife, and God is the head of Christ. Any man who prays or prophesies with something on his head disgraces his head, but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled disgraces her head--it is one and the same thing as having her head shaved. For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, she should wear a veil. For a man ought not to have his head veiled, since he is the image and reflection of God; but woman is the reflection of man. Indeed, man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man. For this reason a woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
